Why Blazer Torches Are The Best… 

 

If you love dabbing and spend any time around dab rigs, it doesn’t take long before someone mentions Blazer torches.

If you are like me you would have found Blazer the same way. Started with a cheap torch, fought with inconsistent flames, burnt a few bangers and then decide you needed something that works.

That’s where the Blazer Big Shot and Blazer Big Buddy come in.

This guide explains which Blazer torch is right for you, why Blazer torches cost more than budget options and why so many UK dabbers see them as an investment and long term upgrade rather than an accessory.

Why Blazer Torches Cost More And Why They Last Longer

Blazer torches aren’t a disposable dab accessory.

They are a professional grade butane torches designed for consistent, repeated use. This makes the difference if you dab regularly.

Here’s why they cost more:

• Industrial internal valves that maintain pressure properly

• Consistent flame output that doesn’t sputter mid heat

• Reliable piezo ignition systems

• Solid strong construction that feels stable in the hand

Cheaper torches often work at first. Then all of a sudden they don’t.

Blazer torches keep working, which is why many dabbers buy one and never replace it.

What Dabbers Actually Need From a Torch

Despite the marketing, most dabbers don’t need extreme flame power.

They need control.

A good dab torch should:

• Heat quartz bangers evenly

• Deliver a predictable flame every time

• Feel balanced and stable

• Make temperature timing easier to learn with consistent heat

Both the Blazer Big Shot and Blazer Big Buddy do this well. The choice depends on how you dab.

Blazer Big Shot: Power, Speed and Consistency

The Blazer Big Shot GT8000 is the torch most people picture when they hear the Blazer name.

It’s powerful, solid and built for frequent use.

The Big Shot Is Best If You:

• Dab daily or weekly

• Use thicker quartz bangers or terp slurpers

• Want fast heat up times

• Prefer a heavier torch with stronger flame

Jimmy Green Says

"The Big Shot heats evenly and pressure stays on point. Once you craft your timing, the results are consistently awesome session after session."

Blazer Big Buddy: Control and Everyday Practicality

The Blazer Big Buddy is different.

It’s smaller, lighter and easier to live with, especially if you want something that stores neatly or travels well for on the go sessions.

The Big Buddy Is Best If You:

• Are newer to dabbing

• Use smaller dab rigs

• Dont need as much flame

It’s less intimidating than the Big Shot but just as reliable.

Big Shot vs Big Buddy: Real-World Comparison

This isn’t about which Blazer torch is better. It’s about fit.

• Blazer Big Shot: more power, faster heating, heavier feel

• Blazer Big Buddy: lighter, more controlled, easier handling

Both are genuine Blazer torches. Both last. The right choice depends on your setup and habits.

Where Blazer Torches Belong in a Set Up

At A Bong Shop UK, Blazer torches are usually paired with:

• Dab rigs

• Quartz bangers

• Terp slurpers

They’re rarely impulse buys. They’re upgrades people make once they want reliability.

Jimmy Green Says

“If you dab occasionally, the Big Buddy will get the job done well. If dabbing daily, the Big Shot’s extra stability and heat output make it my long term choice.”

 

The Big Shot and Big Buddy aren’t showing off. They’re about removing variables so you can focus on flavour, control and comfort.

Final Thoughts

At A Bong Shop Blazer torches cost more because they’re built properly.

If you’re choosing between the Blazer Big Shot and Blazer Big Buddy, be honest about how you dab and what kind of control you want.

Either way, you’re investing in a torch that will still be working long after cheaper options have failed.
